HIGH PERFORMANCE ALLOYS

Technical Information HASTELLOY C-276 Welding Data

ALLOY DESCRIPTION HASTELLOY C-276 alloy is a solid solution, nickel-molybdenum-chromium, corrosion-resistant alloy. C-276 alloy has outstanding resistance to localized corrosion and to both oxidizing and reducing media.

C-276 alloy welding products are used: as matching composition filler material for welding C-276 alloy wrought and cast products. for dissimilar welding C-276 alloy to nickel- or iron-based corrosion alloys. for weld overlay cladding. C-276 alloy is suitable for most applications in the as-welded condition.

SUGGESTED PRACTICE
Establish safe working conditions prior to the start of welding. Areas to consider should include protection of personnel, ventilation, and welding in confined spaces. The recommendations of the American National Standard ANSI/ASC Z49.1, "Safety in Welding and Cutting", should be followed. The welding surface and adjacent area on each side of the joint should be thoroughly cleaned and degreased prior to welding. Oxy-acetylene welding and cutting are not recommended. Covered electrodes used from an unopened can require no further drying. Unused electrodes should be stored in a temperature controlled oven held in the range 250-400F (121-200C). Backing gas (100% argon) should always be used for the root pass when welding by either GTAW or GMAW. For SMAW, grinding of the back side of the root pass is necessary. For optimum corrosion resistance of the finished weldment, excessive heat input should be avoided by: - minimizing weave bead techniques (i.e. use 'stringer' beads with some manipulation). - avoiding slow travel speeds, especially on thin parts. - controlling interpass temperatures, generally 200F (93C) or less. For GTAW, a constant-current power supply equipped with a high frequency start and downslope control is recommended. Torches with gas diffuser lenses provide the optimum gas coverage. Postweld stress relieving in the 1200F (650C) range is not recommended for HASTELLOY C-276 alloy. If required, solution heat-treatment of this material is accomplished at 2050F (1121C) for an appropriate time followed by a water quench or rapid air cool (depending on section thickness). If shielding gases containing CO2 are used during GMAW welding, grinding of the weld bead between each pass is recommended. Water cooled torches are recommended for GMAW spray transfer and synergic transfer (above 120 amps) modes.
